I've always wondered how these cars ever passed any type of safety test. RIP to the students.
"The Highway Patrol’s investigation into a November Cybertruck crash in Piedmont where three college kids died is finding two very Tesla problems: the vehicle immediately caught fire, and its doors would not open."
I've never made an original meme, but I feel like this might be the one. I bequeath it to you, citizens of fedi who are awake when I am. I feel like it can be captioned, but it also works well as a response to things. #meme #memes
As someone with a form of EDS, I'm not a huge fan of abled people using our pain and disability as a meme. My body is literally coming apart at the joints. It's not a joke.
@abetterjulie It's tights. It's tights. I am not joking about any medical condition. It is an image used by a Chinese factory to sell tights. I don't even care about the image. I liked the caption.
the press should not have used the verb "deport" here. One cannot deport a national from her own country; that is banishing or exiling her. Stuff dictatorships do.
I know I love to gather my family together for the holiday traditions of thrmaKYGviG THANKKWSGINOEG Dy DaAy Day. We all sit around and think about all the things we're thrmaKYGviG for, then we tuck into a hearty meal of tukEkryY and SsuFtGvg with plenty of GvY and CnaaarbrrrrrrrrrERY sauce. Then we all get eaten by a giant rabbit, just like the Pilgrims did. Festive tiny fruits for all!
@sollat If it makes you feel better, I'm pretty sure the woman isn't generated by "AI." I think the way it works is they have a stock image of a model holding up a piece of fabric which they can chroma-key out and replace with whatever image they're trying to hawk. Photoshop actually has a feature now where you can even warp an image to make it fit a surface and then swap it out for another which will warp in the same way, making it look more realistic for things like fabrics; that's how a lot of marketing of custom designs is done. This doesn't look that sophisticated though.
But despite all that, extra knees... *shudder* Or even knees that bend backwards 😬😱

Vladimir Putin does not typically dress in military fatigues, and the main reason for this, I can only assume, is that he looks absolutely terrible in them.
A German national (Jessica Brösche), a British national (Becky Burke), and now a Canadian national (Jasmine Mooney) have all been detained at the border and placed in ICE custody under dubious pretenses.
It is time for other nations to issue a travel warning to tourists headed to the US.
A Canadian entrepreneur detained by ICE is speaking out after she got arrested while trying to enter the San Diego border to obtain a visa last Monday.
That is a LOT of output cap! Unfortunately I'm better at switcher layout than schematic, but I don't see anything problematic, just wow what a lot of cap.
see alt text for further description, but as a quick summary: 12-24V in, 5.25V out, max output current 1.5A, operating current typically 500-700mA. designed for minimal EMI and noise. all downstream rails are generated from the 5V25 rail using high PSRR LDOs.
To the United Statesians thinking that annexing Canada is funny or a good idea. - - - I really hate the thought of even writing this.
But it’s time to be abundantly clear. That idea of invading Canada might have been funny… the first time… in the 1770s.
But, wake the fuck up! We’re in 2025, not in the 1770s.
Your government is ruining the relationships with its own partners and allies. Today, you started a trade war on the World, including Australia, the European Union, Mexico, the United Kingdom. That’s on top of the one with Canada and Mexico from last week. You will pay for that trade war, because that’s how tariffs work. There’s another way to call them: import taxes.
On top of that, your government doing way worse, your government is threatening to invade Canada, Greenland and Panama. How would you feel if YOUR next door neighbour - Mr. Smith - decided to take YOUR OWN house, make it THEIRS and YOU don’t have a say in it. Let that sink in. Would YOU be okay with that?

You know Canadians’ reputation for being calm and polite, usually going their merry way. Today, Canadians are rightfully angry, we are actually fucking pissed. And yet, you don't understand our reaction when we boo your national anthem? We chose to have our own home, our own country - it’s democratic, independent, sovereign, strong and free. It was and it is OUR rightful decision to make, not yours. It tries its hardest to do the best it can to support its population. It’s not perfect, make no mistake - we have many things to be rightfully ashamed for, but we work on ourselves almost every day.
So, to voice our anger: - Yes, we will boo your anthem. - Yes, we will not buy your goods. - Yes, we will avoid stepping foot on your side of the border. - Yes, we are fighting back and continue doing so. - No, we won’t give up. - No, you won’t take Canada, Greenland or Panama.
AND IF YOU STILL THINK THIS IS WHOLE THING IS A JOKE... NO, WE DO NOT FIND THIS FUCKING FUNNY AT ALL! IT HAS NEVER BEEN FUNNY TO US!
No one fucking wants any of this, because there will be no winners on any side. You will suffer, we will suffer.
Sincerely, —This Really Angry and Annoyed Canadian
@admin Consider the following hypothetical scenario.
The government of Jupiter decides it wants to annex the United States of America. And it keeps repeating it, over and over and over. How would you feel and react?
The government of the USA has been changing goalposts while leaving this specific threat as is.
@admin The last thing one wants to do is become complacent.
But Canadians have been the victim of lack of respect from USA residents for months now, including an USA official crossing the border from side to side saying: “USA #1 / 51st state”. montrealgazette.com/news/provi…
John Adams regretted signing the Sedition Act of 1798, which restricted press freedom. He told his son it was "never a favorite" of his. The law expired in 1801, but its legacy as a restriction on free speech endures. A history professor explains: buff.ly/6HCy4Vx #freespeech
John Adams signed the Sedition Act in an attempt to silence dissent. Some other Founding Fathers thought that muzzling the press would mean the end of the republic.

Blog overview & update on my kiwi-shaped enclosure for a #RaspberryPi running #Kiwix ( @kiwix )! Predictably, I ran into scale issues: the current form is Huge, Actually, because I didn't really think it through. 😅 Might retry from an earlier version, or go with something simpler for now...
@thehatfox Pretty intuitive! Much less intimidating after I learned what most clay artists would already know: start by sticking shapes together, THEN do the sculpting 😀
I'd also been trying to make myself sit through a 40-minute tutorial, and never got past the 9min mark... In post #2, I've linked the ghost tutorial that really clicked – a quick video that covers a ton of tools and techniques at once. Finally got a solid enough foundation to build momentum and get excited!
Thanks, that all sounds promising. I’ve just watched the ghost tutorial and it looks really fun. Now I just need to find some spare time this weekend 😁
@thehatfox Yesss! Fair warning: I had to watch it on 75% speed so I could screenshot some of the tools he was using, because the interface is completely new.
This man page is really useful for figuring out the precise differences between some tools (like Flatten/Planar): nomadsculpt.com/manual/tools
Also, I use a Paperlike screen protector and friction nib, which I got for drawing but IMO improve everything.
@thehatfox Absolutely! I've been using the Paperlike for years now, and I prefer the matte screen for both art and glare reduction.
Recently decided I wanted even more friction for drawing, so I bought some "MJKOR Soft Paperfeel Damping Tips" and have really liked it for the past couple weeks. I also tried a silicone cover for the Pencil tip, but it reduced the precision, which ruled it out for me.
Curious to hear your experiences, if you go for it 😀

@pluralistic : "Trump won office in part by insisting that America's institutions were not fit for purpose. He wasn't lying about that (for a change). The thing he was lying about was his desire to fix them. Trump doesn't want honest refs – he wants *no* refs. To defeat Trumpism, we need to stop pretending that our institutions are just fine – we need to confront their failings head on and articulate a plan to fix them"
Everyone talks about how bad our administrative state is, I don’t see it. Everything could probably use some tweaking or “improvements” and that’s what the IG’s are for. That’s what they did! Civil servants are awesome and in every group there are some, shall we say lazy people, but not corrupt or trying to take the system down like the muskrat is so that he can sell it and our public lands to tfg’s own companies and broligarchs.
Sitara, I'm so glad you posted this video! I started on Mom's lap but moved to the laptop as soon as I saw you! I don't think I've ever watched a bunny video before and I was captivated. I also like watching tigers in the snow and dog agility competitions, so you are in esteemed company!😍
One good quality (exactly.one) for this folding bike. It fits in a sedan trunk. Otherwise... low end shifters, not great quality anything. It does make airport pickup wait times more tolerable, however! #BikeTooter
Five years later, the greatest basic science failure in generations caused the pandemic harms highlighted by people across the political spectrum, and broke our social cohesion.
The news has been more than a bit grim of late, so hooray for Carbon Brief providing some genuine and really meaningful **good** news: the UK's carbon emissions in 2024 were the lowest since 1872, because demand for fossil fuels just keeps decreasing.
yes the UK government has made good progress. I just wish that the UK public was allowed to participate. It feels much more like the government is ‘doing to’ than ‘doing with’. The policy barriers and costs for the public to decarbonise are frankly ludicrous. We are effectively barred from getting off of gas ourselves. Public transportation is dire and expensive. No cycle paths. All feels very toxic.
Unless a miracle occurs, Trump’s tariffs will keep driving up consumer prices and drag the U.S. into a 1970s-style stagflation crisis: high inflation, slow growth, and rising unemployment.

![A picture of a woman standing in front of a beige wall and a bed with a white quilt on it. She is holding up, covering most of her body and the bed, a blanket or tapestry on which is printed the image of three rabbits of wildly different sizes seated at a table. The smaller two are a gray and white rabbit sitting behind the table with its paw on the table and an almost orange-tabby-colored rabbit sitting on the table itself.
The largest, a white rabbit, appears to be eating a misshapen serving tray which is holding fruit of some kind which is far too small to be realistic. Other strange dishes are scattered around the tabletop, all of them holding a vague impression of fruit or perhaps vegetables. The dishes and the fruit/vegetables are out of proportion to all three rabbits and to each other.
